I wonder if, in the future, we'll look back at this lame decision as one of the turning points for Valve, we'll see how this develops and if this is just the start of a downwards trend

This got rejected from Steam in January and the C&D was in March, but in between that Valve updated their Source SDK to add all TF2 source code, so it's not like they're completely anti-mod.

As usual, Valve doesn't communicate with anyone, so who knows what's going on there.

People are saying the reason is that they used/worked with leaked CS:GO code, which Valve doesn't like, but the devs deny it.

Ah I remember hearing about some jabronies using leaked code, I guess this is the same bunch?

I don't think so. They deny it, so who knows. There's also the exploit allegations, that were mentioned in this thread, but there's just no source for anything.
